I've been described as a "hot mess on a cold night". Tune in and you'll hear why. Born in Metairie, grew up in Alexandria, but I've spent over half of my life here in Lafayette. The best things about me are my incredible wife and three amazing kids. I still can't figure out how I've become lucky enough to be a part of their lives. I've always been fascinated with music in a way that's hard for me to define with words. Since I was very young I've been drawn to great melodies, lyrics and story telling so naturally I've been drawn to Country music for as long as I can remember. I wouldn't call myself a musician, but have been playing guitar since I was about 13-years-old. Guitar is like a never ending puzzle for me to keep trying to figure out. I also enjoy Zombies, peanut butter and trying to take left turns on Johnston St.

Can you imagine living in Acadiana without any of our incredible, locally owned boudin shops, boutiques, music stores, jewelers, restaurants, hobby shops or sporting goods stores? That's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the amazingly diverse local services and goods you can find her…

When it comes to carving the Thanksgiving turkey, I usually sometimes get it right maybe. Just about anyone knows how to cut the breast meat away from the turkey, but it can get a little iffy when it comes to all of the other parts.

For many years, we've enjoyed delicious fried turkey here in South Louisiana. It got me thinking, where did this tradition start? Could we really be responsible for bringing the world fried turkey? You got that right!
